How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 1 ÷ 85 = 0.011765
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.011765 × 100 = 1.1765%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 1.1765% of 85 is 0.011765 × 85 = 1.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 1/85 = p/100, so p = 1 × 100 ÷ 85 = 1.1765%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =1/85*100. Dividing the wrong way round (whole ÷ part) gives a different answer. The number after “of” is always the whole, so it goes on the bottom.

What the result means

1 is less than a tenth of 85. The part that is left, 84, is the other 98.8235%.
